One irony is that mass in the vernacular separates Catholics. There is a mass in English, there a mass in Spanish. Unless one follows the same rubics, it is difficult to go from one mass to the other.

As opposed to the Mass in Latin, when, unless one had a missal, no one knew what the hell was being said.

Mass in the vernacular is a good thing. Baptism in the vernacular is a good thing. The Sacrament of Reconciliation in English is a good thing.
